The Course.

• Outline This course covers the software
  development process, from requirements
  elicitation and analysis, through specification
  and design, to implementation, integration,
  testing, and maintenance.

3
.The Course

• A variety of concepts, principles, techniques,
  and tools are presented, covering topics such as
  software processes, project management, people
  management, software requirements, system models,
  architectural and detailed design, user interface
  design, programming practices, verification and
  validation, and software evolution.

4
.The Course

• Although the emphasis will be on modern,
  object-oriented approaches some more traditional,
  structured software engineering techniques will
  also be discussed.
